Hey guys,
I was looking to call for a media player from a friend returning from the US. I had shortlisted on WDTV live or the Asus O! play RT-3.... I was thinking of getting an xbox360 or PS3 next year....
I later got to know that both the Xbox and PS3 have media capabilities as well (PS3 also has a blu-ray player)
which meant i cud get to play games as well as watch movies on one machine (which wud save me space n money!!)
I was wondering what the real difference between these players and proper media players is.... Do the xbox/Ps3 play all common kinda movies/music files (eg. mkv, avi, mp3, wma etc.).
Also i wud like to know since these players have limited storage (160GB max), do they support external hard drives to play movies, games etc.?
Experts kindly enlighten me on these queries so that i can make a decision..
thanks in advance
